ABOUT ME.
WHO SHANTANU IS BEYOND HIS PROJECTS—AN ENGINEER AND PRODUCT BUILDER BRIDGING TECHNOLOGY WITH BUSINESS.
ENGINEER. MBA CANDIDATE. PRODUCT BUILDER.
I am Shantanu Gunani—a Product Engineer and MBA candidate at IIT Guwahati. I operate at the intersection where high-performance software engineering meets strategic business architecture.
With a strong foundation in computer engineering and hands-on robotics, I transitioned into full-stack web development and quantitative systems before pursuing my MBA to master product strategy, financial modeling, and venture growth.
Whether I am architecting institutional algorithmic trading interfaces, building e-commerce platforms, or training deep learning vision models, my goal is always singular: design with intention, build with precision.
